The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 121 Guan Yutian’s Secret
Suddenly, his expression changed.

Shangguan Yun!
There is a high probability that Shangguan Yun has the Dragon Ball in his hand. Has the Dragon Ball in Shangguan Yun been taken away by the imperial court?
If it was taken away, Shangguan Yun must have been in trouble.

If it was not taken away, it means that what the court said was untrue and the dragon ball is still outside.

"Qianxing, go and keep an eye on Zhongxin Hall immediately and find out the whereabouts of Shangguan Yun." Guan Yutian said in a deep voice.

"Yes, I'll go right away." Although Ren Qianxing was puzzled, he responded immediately.

Did anything happen to Shangguan Yun?
Guan Yutian frowned in thought.

Faintly, he felt an ominous premonition.

Does Shangguan Yun not care whether something happens?
Was it resolved by the imperial court? It all indicates that there might be something wrong with the departure of the factory guards.

Of course, if nothing happened, but the court said that the Dragon Balls were already in its control, it might be because the court did not want Jin to cause trouble because of the Dragon Balls.

After all, Jin has just stabilized and military reorganization has just begun, which is normal.

After thinking for a while, Guan Yutian still felt confused and uncertain.

A sense of urgency arose in my heart.

Perhaps, I should return to my homeland and try to break through.

After the factory guards left, he immediately returned to his ancestral land and tried to break through.

As for now, he didn't dare.

He knew clearly that the Supreme Alliance must be being watched by the factory guards at this moment. If he dared to disappear, he would definitely attract the attention of the factory guards.

Even if he breaks through to the Grand Master level by then, the consequences will be unpredictable.

The best option at this time is to wait patiently for the factory guards to leave.

Thinking of this, he felt a sense of regret.

If there was no problem, the factory guards would have already evacuated, but the Dragon Ball incident happened at this time.

If the incident of Dragon Ball happened later, he might have got the Dragon Ball.

Guan Yutian is definitely not the only smart person in the martial arts world of Jin.

The incident of the Dragon Ball and the court’s intervention have caused countless people to think.

Many were unwilling to give up and continued to track down the whereabouts of the Dragon Ball.

After all, the word "Dragon Ball" and the saying "He who possesses the Dragon Ball possesses the world" are too tempting.

They didn't dare to ask the imperial court for the Dragon Balls, but they dared to investigate on their own.

However, the Ming court did not give them time to investigate.

Before this, Zhu Ye, Guo Bujing and others had made the decision to take action in advance.

Because they knew very well that even if the imperial court announced it, the dragon balls would be taken back to the capital.

There will be many people who will not resign themselves to this and they will investigate everywhere.

If they trace it back, they might discover the second step of the plan.

So, they had to take action in advance.

When the news was sent back to the capital, preparations began.

Orders and messages were spread in all directions.

The day after Duke Zheng returned to the capital with the six dragon balls, Zhu Wusi arrived in Jin. The followers of the Sun and Moon Sect, the people of the Golden Sword Village, and the army controlled by Wang Shouren were all taking quick action.

Wuzheng Villa is stepping up its efforts to contact some righteous forces in the martial arts world.

Day 5, May 26th.

While many martial arts forces were still tracking down Dragon Ball, the factory guards took action.

This time the action was on a much larger scale than the first time.

"Liu Yu, the Left Governor, huh, you are really powerful. You colluded with underworld forces and bandits, occupied the people's land, treated people's lives as nothing, deceived your superiors and lied to your subordinates. You did almost everything you shouldn't have done.

Oh, come with us." Cao Shaoqin personally led his men to the front of the number one figure in the Shanxi Provincial Government and sneered.

Liu Yu turned pale, looked at Cao Shaoqin in disbelief, and said in horror: "What exactly do you want to do?
Jin has just become somewhat stable, and you want to wrongly accuse me. Do you want to cause chaos in the whole of Shanxi?"

"Oh, don't use your cleverness. Whether Shanxi is in chaos or not is not up to you parasites to decide.

Your Majesty's words count.

You parasites should all be cleaned out." Cao Shaoqin said disdainfully.

Liu Yu understood the meaning behind the words and his face turned even paler.

Still in disbelief, he shouted, "Is your Majesty crazy? Does he really want to cause chaos in Jin before he will stop?"

"Crack~!"

With a crisp sound, Liu Yu spit out blood and fell to the ground, with a slap mark on his face. He was furious, "You——"

Cao Shaoqin's eyes were cold, as if he was looking at a dead person.

"If you are disrespectful to His Majesty, we will treat you well."

“I’ll give you another sentence. His Majesty said it himself: Even if Jin is in chaos, what does it matter?

At worst, I can just fight again."

"Towed away."

Two Dongchang guards roughly escorted Liu Yu out.

Liu Yu regained consciousness and cried out in grief, "Your Majesty, how could you do this!"

As if he had thought of something, he angrily said to Cao Shaoqin: "You want to clean up Shanxi, but what about the vassal kings?
Do you lackeys dare to touch the vassal king?"

"Hmph, you don't have to worry about that." Cao Shaoqin still said with disdain.

Liu Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he felt unbelievable.

Does Your Majesty want to take action against the vassal kings as well?
But, how is this possible?
Liu Yu was dragged away again in a daze, feeling more and more desperate.

On this day, a great earthquake occurred in the officialdom of the entire Jin area, with Taiyuan Prefecture as the center. It was a bigger earthquake than the previous one.

More than 300 officials were arrested that day.

If the army had not been dispatched, many places would have been in chaos.

No, it should be said that some places are already in chaos.

Some righteous martial arts forces, thousands of people from the Golden Sword Village, nearly 10,000 members of the Sun and Moon Sect, and nearly 100,000 troops launched a massacre against some martial arts forces and bandits in Jin.

The sounds of fighting could be heard everywhere in Shanxi.

Strong men such as Guo Bujing and Cao Zhengchun did not stay in the center, but took action personally against some strong men to prevent them from escaping.

Guan Yutian of the Supreme Alliance met Guo Bujing while he was waiting for news.

"Why are you attacking my Supreme Alliance?" Guan Yutian said in a low voice with an ugly expression.

"The Supreme Alliance oppresses the people and refuses to obey the law." Guo Bujing said sternly.

"Oh, oppressing the people and refusing to obey the law." Guan Yutian sneered, "Which martial arts force in this world has not oppressed the people and refusing to obey the law?
Is the Ming Dynasty going to wipe out all the martial arts forces?"

Guo Bujing was silent for a moment, then said seriously, "Whether they will all be wiped out or not, I can't decide.

But the Supreme Alliance must be wiped out."

"Because my Supreme Alliance is not a reputable and upright sect?" Guan Yutian suddenly realized and snorted coldly.

Guo Bujing acquiesced.

This is indeed a big reason.

Guan Yutian's eyes flickered, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The Supreme Alliance is willing to obey the orders of the court from now on. Can you let us go this time?"

"The Supreme Alliance has nearly 10,000 people, and they don't do anything productive, and they have to practice martial arts to consume their energy. How many people have to suffer and endure hardships to support them?
The Supreme Alliance must be disbanded." Guo Bujing shook his head and said firmly.

Guan Yutian was silent for a moment, then suddenly frowned and asked, "Are you only targeting our Supreme Alliance this time?"

"The entire Jin area will not be spared." Guo Bujing said frankly.

"Hahaha." Guan Yutian laughed loudly, and said with some incredible shock: "What a courage! Isn't the Ming emperor afraid that the martial arts forces in the world will rebel against him?"

"This is not your concern." Guo Bujing said slowly.

"Oh, I understand now. The action taken at the beginning of the year was only the first step of the plan.

The imperial court had long planned to cleanse Jin and had been making preparations for the past few months, including the open withdrawal of the imperial guards from Jin.

It's Dragon Ball! The appearance of Dragon Ball disrupted your plans, otherwise they shouldn't have happened so quickly.

Wuzheng Villa has also completely surrendered to the imperial court!" Guan Yutian suddenly realized, and the last sentence was filled with anger and suspicion.

He never imagined that Wuzheng Villa would completely surrender to the imperial court.

If not, how could the imperial court cleanse the martial arts forces in Jin so easily?

The right path is a help to the Ming Dynasty court, but it is also a hindrance to the Ming Dynasty court.

The righteous would not want to see the Ming Dynasty court purge all the martial arts forces in the area, especially the evil ones.

Although the evil forces are also incompatible with the righteous path, they are far from being as irreconcilable as the demonic forces.

If the evil ways and the evil ways were gone, the significance of the existence of the righteous ways would be greatly reduced.

The buffer zone between the righteous path and the imperial court will also disappear.

Therefore, the righteous would not want to see this, and the Ming court also has to consider the existence and opinions of the righteous.

But there just happened to be a Wuzheng Villa.

For three hundred years, Wuzheng Villa has been the most righteous place in Jin.

"You are very smart. You are worthy of being a hero. Jian Zun, Helian Ba ​​and others are not as good as you." Guo Bujing praised.

"Oh, why are you telling me so much?
Could it be that they have taken a fancy to me and want me to disband the Supreme Alliance and join the Imperial Guards?" Guan Yutian laughed at himself and asked in surprise.

"The Supreme Alliance will definitely be disbanded. Can you join the Imperial Guard? We will also investigate all your circumstances to see if you have endangered the lives of the people.

You should be unqualified for this.

Now, what I want to know is the secret behind you?" Guo Bujing said one sentence at a time.

The evil force of the Supreme Alliance has grown to the size of nearly 10,000 people. It is almost impossible to say that Guan Yutian has not taken the lives of innocent people under his command.

He also has a share of responsibility for the killings by his men.

Guan Yutian clasped his hands together and said calmly, "What's the secret behind it?"

"You sent people to monitor the Sword Forging City until now, and I have learned something from the Sword Master.

There is also Shangguan Yunchu.

I'm curious, you should be more than just a Supreme Alliance, right?" Guo Bujing said solemnly.

Guan Yutian's heart was in turmoil. He didn't expect that the Jinyiwei would doubt his identity.

His expression changed several times, and he said in a deep voice: "If I cooperate, will my son be in trouble?"

"Your son Abao is only a few years old. We won't implicate a child who knows nothing." Guo Bujing said sincerely.

"Okay, I'll cooperate.

But I have one condition." Guan Yutian said solemnly.

"You tell me first and listen."

“After taking me to the capital, give me a chance to break through to the Grandmaster level.

I think the imperial court also needs the fighting power of a grandmaster." Guan Yutian said in a deep voice.

Guo Bujing understood and felt a little impressed.

This Guan Yutian is really not a simple person.

Even at this point, we are far from giving up and must seize every opportunity to survive.
